I just installed Linux Mint, without special things :) It's fakeroot version 1.18.4 (fakeroot -v shows this information)
Even with fakeroot 1.19 from Debian Sid (see http://ftp.ch.debian.org/debian/pool/main/f/fakeroot/fakeroot_1.19-2_amd64.deb), the problem persists.

It's weird however that the same version of fakeroot can work or cannot work, therefore I think it's more related to config files or old/wrong files (which probably come from the ppa version of gambas).
